2/7/2026 Posted On: 2/7/2026 By: joshdasher Info: There is snow at the trailhead itself but the road is open and easily accessible. Someone got up it in their Honda Accord. Couple of snowy patched on the road, but that's it. | ||||
1/2/2026 Posted On: 1/12/2026 By: jacolc Info: Passable by any car, however snow at TH | ||||
9/14/2025 Posted On: 9/15/2025 By: ryansappleid Info: Good condition, got to TH in my low clearance 2wd Accord no problem. Found a spot to camp on the road Friday night and was able to park in the lot early Saturday morning. | ||||
8/4/2025 Posted On: 8/4/2025 By: E_A_Marcus_949 Info: Almost any car can make it. Decent size lot. Toilet had TP and didn't smell. Willow Creek trail in great shape; S Crestone Lake Trail in good shape too - it's the steeper of the two. | ||||
7/6/2025 Posted On: 7/6/2025 By: two lunches Info: trail is clear and dry from the lower trailhead to the lake. however, i cannot understate that at times on the approach, the mosquitoes were out. of. control. they were relentless. bug spray was ineffective. bug hat and gloves are *mandatory* and full-body coverage is strongly recommended. attempting to hang out, eat, or fish outside of a zipped-up tent was… emotionally devastating. there is also a… robust (?)… population of rocky mountain sheep at the lake. they seemed fully comfortable approaching people, weaving between sites and barking dogs. beautiful, surreal, and weirdly casual. | 2 |

6/16/2025 Posted On: 6/27/2025 By: HokieTom Info: This condition is actually for South Crestone trail. This was a great trail with beautiful scenery. No snow and creek crossings were fine. Some blow down trees but relatively easy to crawl under or climb over, The trail is very easy to follow and there is a beautiful waterfall. The South Crestone Lake is amazing! | 5 |

1/6/2025 Posted On: 3/31/2025 By: jacolc Info: Was easy Jan 04 by 2WD and probably also at Jan 06 before snow | ||||
9/30/2024 Posted On: 10/4/2024 By: HikesInGeologicTime Info: Outhouse: BYO TP. Road is easy enough in an Outback; would believe prior reports stating it is doable with 2WD/lower clearance. | ||||
9/11/2024 Posted On: 9/14/2024 By: Cuttlefishette Info: Road was uncomfortable but not challenging in my Rav4, pit toilet is out of TP. Two other cars there on a rainy, windy Wendesday afternoon. | ||||
7/28/2024 Posted On: 7/29/2024 By: Catwhite Info: Doable with a 2WD, low clearance car | ||||
6/26/2024 Posted On: 6/26/2024 By: JasonKline Info: Summer conditions. My Hyundai Ioniq had no trouble getting there, so any car should be able to make it. The mosquitos are ridiculous. | ||||
9/1/2023 Posted On: 9/3/2023 By: rcpelikan Info: This trailhead received heavy use on the Labor Day weekend. The road itself is still passable by 2WD cars, but is beginning to show washboarding and larger divots higher up that weren't there last week. |
